Its name is derived from the Yadkin River which runs through it. It is in
the north central section of the state and
is bounded by Forsyth,
Davie,
Iredell,
Wilkes and
Surry counties. The
present land area is 335.93 square miles and the 1990 population was
30,488. The first court was ordered to be held at Dowellton, at which time
the justices were to adjourn to any place they wished until a courthouse
could be erected. Commissioners were named to select a site for the courthouse as near of
the center of the county as possible. Also, they were to acquire land and
lay off a town by the name of Wilson. In 1852 an act was passed changing
Wilson to Yadkinville. Yadkinville is the county seat.
